Thought it would be fun to have ago at some jockeys who mess up.
Even better if you backed something that cost you a few quid.
You'll probably get told your talking crap if that is the case so don't participate if your not thick skinned.
Lose the head and you get 10 penalty points.
I'd like to start with the last at Ffos Las.......Grassy will love this one.
Paul Townend on Captain Mcginley: What on earth was going through his head? Paul Maloney is as bad.
He's on a hotpot favourite with only one possible danger on paper is trained by Evan Williams.
His Jockey Paul maloney rides what he assumes is the best of them the other 2 pretty much unfancied
Last but not least the 3rd favourite which is also pretty much unfancied.
These bumper horses like the 3 outsiders in this small field usually are there for the experience and more often or not need the run.
They can run very well for a long way in a true run race but usually the will blow up because the trainer has left something to work on.
So what does Townend do? he sets off at a crawl that my granny could have went in her wheelchair.
Suddenly the horse that may not see out 2 miles in a true run race has a chance of seeing out what has become a farce.
Instead of a 2 mile race it's been turn into a piece of work on the gallops.
SURELY the best thing to do in these races is get on with it set a gallop and make sure anything that is not fully fit has no chance.
Paul Maloney is on a horse who stayed on well in his only run to date and he sits there like looney as his horse pulls his arms out using all his energy up fighting him because he's got more brains than his jockey.
This was very much a case of what you should do if you want to get a decent horse beat in a very bad race.
Why pick PT out? Because he should know better.........UDS Faugheen Vautour all do the same thing when facing inferior opposition.............heavy ground fast ground doesn't make any difference.......You're fitter and you're better the last thing you do is hang about and give the rags a chance.
P Townend worst ride of the day by a mile.
Anyone see a worse ride today?
